3.4. Genus Rabdotodrusilla PACE, 2013 View in CoL
Rabdotodrusilla was described in the same article as Episkiodrusilla . The genus previously included only one species, R. malaysiensis PACE, 2013 from Malaysia, a species described based on a single female. According to PACE (2013), this genus is characterized and distinguished from Drusilla by a pronotum “with long strong sulci, without a deep median sulcus”. Additional characters are neither indicated nor described. The new species described below is tentatively attributed to Rabdotodrusilla , as it shares with R. malaysiensis the modified sculpture of the pronotum. However, the status of this genus requires revision. The morphology of the aedeagus and other characters suggest that these species belong to Drusilla and that Rabdotodrusilla is a synonym of that genus.
